Important! Kinect 2 for Windows, Kinect for Xbox One requires USB 3.0 controller. Kinect SDK 2.0 currently supports only single sensor on one PC.

ExpressCard or eSATA slot (for laptops)

Optional, but highly recommended. It allows to install external USB controller in case of compatibility issues between cameras and built-in USB controllers, or if all USB ports are in fact connected to a single USB controller

Storage system: HDD or SSD or RAID with write speed:

For 4 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 70,4 MByte/sec

For 6 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 105,6 MByte/sec

For 8 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 140,8 MByte/sec

Note: If your write speed is lower, you can work with 320 x 240 resolution and/or lower frame rate. Alternatively, you can use compressed mode (that gives 3-5 times lower required write speed, but the CPU performance may become a bottleneck)
